there are still PF grab boxes  I'm still a pass. I've come close a few times yeah..DH and the kids talked me into ordering one. BUT then I really really really need to freeze until I make some space on my shelves. I especially need to focus on using green and blue patterned paper... |

Hi everyone. I’m plugging away on my Women’s History Month daily Pages challenge and my 100 days of colouring. I’m about five days behind on the colouring but have decided it doesn’t have to be 100 days in a row.  grammadee makes an appearance in this page in a pic from 2017 maybe? The prompt was about a woman who was active in urban planning.  I love this one. The prompt was about Maya Angelou and to include birds. I used the layered stencil that came in my Maker Mania kit.  Here’s my Rizzo from The Muppet’s Christmas Carol. The photos always show me where I went outside the lines. They always look better to the naked eye at arm’s length. |

joyfulnana , your Wizarding page is great! No embellishments needed. Those tilted photos give the whole LO life and movement. And I love the title! justjac your colouring skills amaze me. That image would look good even if the lines weren't there! Awesome pages. That hummingbird is so pretty! After decluttering my counter area this month and going through pp's last month, I know I don't need anything new, Linda , but that doesn't stop me from WANTING things LOL. Putting myself in the freezer for awhile doesn't really work for me, cuz I have a rebellious little kid inside, but I am trying to only purchase things I am pretty sure I will USE.

joyfulnana, that is such a great Wizarding layout. So many photos of all the cool aspects of Hogwarts. I love the tilted photos and that wonky title is perfection. Thanks for sharing here. justjac, fun photo and you and grammadee. I love your hats! That hummingbird is gorgeous. I always love to see what you are reading and making. I have enjoyed the Women's History pages you have shared. Your coloring is beautiful. I love that you are doing 100 days of coloring again this year. No wonder you do such a great job. Linda, oh, how I would love to have those flowers blooming. Maybe I need to buy a bouquet at Costco just to have some color around here. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos.

Happy Wednesday! Waving hi to you all and hope you are having a nice day. Thanks for all the praise on my Christmas card! It was fun to make and I hope to make another with Summer pictures. I saw your sketch challenge kitbop and I will be working on that today.  Ok, here is a joke for you all. Yesterday, I found these jokes I saved on my computer and wanted to share this one with you gals. "Four men are in the hospital waiting room because their wives are having babies. A nurse approaches the first guy and says, “Congratulations! You're the father of twins.” “That's odd,” answers the man. “I work for the Minnesota Twins!” A nurse then yells the second man, “Congratulations! You're the father of triplets!” “That's weird,” answers the second man. “I work for the 3M company!” A nurse goes up to the third man saying, “Congratulations! You're the father of quadruplets." “That's strange,” he answers. “I work for the Four Seasons hotel!” The last man begins groaning and banging his head against the wall. “What's wrong?” the others ask. “I work for 7 Up!”  linda- Oh, I just love your garden and the flowers! Gorgeous!!! I wish we all could be there and take in the beauty. Thanks for sharing the pics with us. joyfulnana- Great job on your double page layout! I like how you were able to get lots on pictures on it. Do you follow any sports at this time of the year? We are watching NBA regularly. I also like to watch golf and baseball sometime. Also, I love Track & Field and looking forward to the Summer Olympics. justjac- You do such a lovely job with your journaling. I love the bird, too. It turned out great! nylene- Thanks for the praise over at Scrapbook dot com. You are such a great cheerleader and I cherish it. I was thinking about when I first started cards and scrapping how you and Cindy welcomed me into the Pokey Peas. SO grateful for you and your continued support of all my creative endeavors! |

Good news and bad here. Good - DD17 is going to go back to Boundary Waters this summer for 10 days - it's not a GS trip, her leader is hosting a friends and family trip. Her troop is also doing a week-long hiking and white water rafting trip in NC/TN. She's very excited about both. We didn't think she was going to be able to do do the first one because it overlapped with DH's work training but he was able to move that so it's working out.
Bad news? well...we're still waiting on the county permit to repair (replace) the drainfield - hopefully soon. And I'm calling the appliance repair man this morning because my THREE-year old refrigerator isn't cold (the freezer side is fine but the fridge is at 55). I guess the positive part is it isn't yet the weekend and I haven't done the weekly grocery shop yet...
It is what it is...
Picking DD up early from school today so we can drop her off for a canoe trip. Her troop is based out of a different county and their Spring break was this week (ours is next week but tomorrow is off as well) so this was the compromise timing for their trip so that DD didn't miss too much school.
Do we have a crop Friday night? I hope so

kellyr21, LOL at your hospital joke. I look forward to seeing your next little summer album/card. You have so many pretty places around you, with lots of palm trees. I look forward to seeing palms this weekend as we go to the wedding and visit DH's brother. I wish they would grow here in the cold! Linda, I am so sorry about your drain field. What does it take to have them approve it? You would think they would treat it as an emergency. Also so sorry about your fridge. I hope it is an easy fix and the appliance man can fix it immediately. Hugs to you today...you need them! I love your birthday pages. The angle up the first page and the angles on the fish tail banners look so great together. Cute pages with the journaling strip and the balloons. Happy B-day to your DH. I will wish I were scrapping on the online crop tomorrow. I will be driving to SLC to pick up Anj at the airport. We will be in heavy weekend/rush hour traffic coming home, but it should be easy driving on the way up. I have not made that drive since they revamped and rebuilt the airport. I am hoping I can find the right place to wait until she comes in. Em walked me through it, and I will program it into my phone. DH can't help by reading signs for me, so I plan to depend on my GPS.

Oh Linda , I hope you can get a repair done quickly on your fridge. And an approval for the needed sewage system revamp. On the other hand, your dd seems to be having so many marvelous adventures with her troop! Will you all be going on the family Boundary Waters week? Dh has some appointments this morning, so I had some time to put together a couple of pages with pic's from November. This was the National Children's Museum in Washington DC, dgs's favourite museum there. I started with the March 2nd sketch.
And I had some extra time and all that space on my counter, and some sorted photos, so... another LO |

safe driving nylene - I know you'll enjoy time with Anj. We're not going with DD - neither dh nor myself are up to 10 days of canoeing and portaging in the backcountry. The county actually does prioritise repairs/replacements over new construction and apparently my county is fastest to approve in the area so we're hoping to get the permit back next week. Yay for scrappy time grammadee |

great layouts nylene - Steve's woodwork is amazing and I'm so glad he's found some ways to make it easier for him. And what sweet photos - I bet you're excited about a new baby in family as well. |

Linda, great photos of your kitties. Those papers are so pretty. I'm sure you will love your next Pink Fresh box as much. I especially love the background on At Home and the quote about unplugging on Pad. Four beautiful pages! Have fun that the crop, everyone. I will be wishing I could join!

Have fun this evening, Ladies. I will be at the hockey rink. After their win last week, dgs's team will represent their division in league finals this weekend. Another double knockout tournament. Against teams they have not played before. Almost had to move the tournament b/c there was an electrical fire yesterday in the compressor for the ice maker, but the local individuals and industries stepped up and got it repaired overnight. This morning, I pulled out another batch of photos and my Vicki Boutin supplies to put together this LO  art is my therapy by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Will be at the arena this weekend. Next week I will be busy packing up for the crop. So I don't know if I will finish any more pages here before then. As I said, have fun! |

That's a great way to use that lemon paper Linda . Dorian looks like a burrito in that one picture lol. And the photos from 2013 are so sweet. I think my favorite is the one with the new glasses. She looks very grown up. You're demolishing that older PF box! I hope you enjoy the new one. I did finish one page that I've been slowly working on for a couple of weeks. And I've got my sketch chosen for my saturday I signed up for, and will work on that this week. Having a sleep over the young one tonight. He asked if can just chill and have a lazy night. Um, you betcha! lol. grammadee good luck to the hockey players! What a fun, colorful page! And Mikey looks so proud of his creation! kitbop fingers crossed for you! |

Thank you joyfulnanaHave fun chilling tonight! I LOVE your page - the glittery purple letters are PERFECT! grammadee - hope the hockey tournament is going well and you've gotten some awesome action shots! kitbop - fingers crossed for you My Pinkfresh box arrived today along with a tiny ACOT order with some of Main Character energy (stamps, 6x8 pad and ephemera). Then we did groceries and as soon as we got those unpacked and put away we headed to the city to pick up DD17 from her canoe trip. She had a wonderful time - saw tons of wildlife - manatees, gators, birds, wild pigs, squirrels, snakes... Looking forward to seeing her photos. We grabbed dinner on the way home and caught a bunch of Pokemon - including some shiny Litten |
